6 d. ago Antisemitic and Islamophobic violence is rising in the United States. Both must stop | Moustafa Bayoumi

We have a duty to call out antisemitism when we see it. We also have an equal duty to remember that Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims are also being targetedThis must stop. Two incidents of political violence, both targeting groups of Jewish people, are two incidents too many.
